1. I saw Dr Dawkins in clinic where a clinical appraisal was undertaken of my conditions. 2. A full explanation of potential procedures and the risks of such was then given to me. 3. At every stage I had confidence in Dr Dawkins.

Within seconds of meeting Dr Dawkins I felt relaxed, he could tell I was extremely nervous and immediately reassured me. His kind, considerate manner definitely helped me feel more comfortable. I couldn't fault his explanation of the procedure, making sure I understood every part of the process. The whole team were very caring and continually made me feel at ease. I can't thank Dr Dawkins and his team enough - I feel I've been given a new lease of life. The whole experience has been incredibly positive! Thank you!

Very well looked after, made to feel very relaxed. All information given in a ‘conversational’ manner, easy to understand and in a comfortable manner. Could not be better!

Dr Sam Dawkins and his team were absolutely fantastic with my operation. Dr. Dawkins explained everything clearly and addressed every worry I had at the time, couldn’t ask for a better experience under those circumstances. Thank you Sam and your team!

Dr Dawkins provided an outstanding service throughout my care, I would highly recommend him to anyone. Dr Dawkins took the time to provide me with a detailed breakdown of the treatment including risk factors with associated probability of them occurring and remedial steps for resolution. In addition the after surgery care was top draw.

As a patient with multiple long-term conditions and extensive use of healthcare services I have a lifetime experience of meeting and being cared for by high quality and compassionate clinicians. For me, it is really important that those treating me not only have the clinical expertise but also recognise the individual’s requirements and communicate in a way that is clear, professional and reassuring. I was referred to Sam Dawkins for a paravalvular leak closure. In my opinion, Sam’s clinical expertise is without doubt absolutely excellent and ‘cutting edge’ seeking to provide the best clinical improvement and outcome for me. The treatment and care that Sam provided was exactly what I was seeking because he took the time to engage with me, listen, understand my wishes and agree a treatment approach that was personalised to me. Throughout my care under Sam his clinical expertise ‘shone through’, along with his passion and desire to improve my health and his engaging manner in providing a patient centred approach. I truly felt that Sam took on board my hopes and expectations, balanced it with his clinical knowledge and experience, and ultimately persevered during a technical procedure to deliver the outcomes we hoped for. I have no hesitation in endorsing Sam for his clinical expertise and his professionalism in engaging with patients. I would not hesitate to recommend Sam to other patients who may require similar interventional cardiology procedures.
